Ok, well I spoke too soon. While my philco 80 gets a few stations now, they "pop" in and out and if I move the dial I cant pick up the station again. Its that dumb sensitivity trimmer. You move it slightly, its pops, the station comes in for 5 minutes then goes out. If you touch the tuner the station is gone, if you touch the top of a 36 tube the station is gone, could this mean the ocsillator is junk. 99% of the parts have been replaced. Whats the deal with this radio?
